Anyway -- for ssh, use -v or -vv or even -vvv.  For sshd, it's -d (or
-dd or -ddd).  Generally, what's easiest then is to run the sshd on a
separate port, and connect to that por explicitly; both commands use -p
for that.  So:

        sshd -p 222 -dd

on the server, and

        ssh -p 222 -vv destination_host

on the client.
